Biography
Born in Seattle, Washington, N. L. Williams wrote her first novel, The
Last Saddle, in sixth grade then burned it two years later. She has
been writing ever since. As a child, she was heavily influenced by her
father and his love of flying. During World War II, he had served in the
Army Air Corps as a B-29 flight instructor at Mather Field, California.
Near the end of the war, he transferred into defense work with Boeing
Aircraft Company in Seattle. In July, 1955, while on a picnic along the
Tolt River, Williams was involved in a five-minute, daylight, low-altitude
UFO sighting, as was her family. Her father made everyone promise to keep
the sighting a secret, as long as he was alive. It was a secret they kept.
Always near aircraft, Williams joined Civil Air Patrol as a teenager and
participated in more than one search and rescue mission for downed aircraft
in the Cascade Mountains. In 1960, she entered the Air Force, serving
most of her enlistment at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey as an Air
Passenger Specialist with the Military Air Transport Service, later known
as the Military Airlift Command. For a period of time, she also worked
with weight and balance of aircraft. She met and married her husband in
1962, a career Air Force man who worked in power production and later
with MACE missiles. Between 1963 and 1969, she lived overseas, mostly
in Asia. While on Okinawa, Williams worked with military equipment in
Civil Service at Camp Smedley D. Butler, as well as with Armed Forces
Radio and Television Service, AFRTS.
Back in the United States, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from the University of Central Florida and her M.S. degree in English from Nova Southeastern University. She taught writing and literature in public education at Orlando, Florida for ten years, and then taught English at Tri-County Community College in Robbinsville, North Carolina. Her husband, though retired, is still involved in defense work with the government. Both she and her husband are avid ham radio enthusiasts, and she holds the highest level amateur radio license issued by the FCC. Williams is currently at work on her second major novel, The Agenda 21 Conspiracy. She has published many news stories and several pieces of poetry, including some through the Gwendolyn Brooks Literary Society of Florida, which recognized her as a “poet of merit.” A recent poem, “Moving On,” has been published by Old Mountain Press in their latest anthology, Mountain Times. She’s a member of MWA, Writer’s League of Texas, and board representative for NCWN West.
Williams enjoys a good QSO whenever she isn’t writing, cooking, or working in the garden. Her favorite frequency is the 442.550 band owned by Charles Satterfield in Tellico Plains, Tennessee. She also enjoys checking into several group HF nets, especially the RV Service Net, which meets daily on 40 meters at 7230 from 7-9 a.m., EST, and on 20 meters at 14307.5 from 12-1 p.m. EST. Whenever possible, she joins the RV Radio Net which meets on 40 meters every evening on 7253 at 8 p.m. EST.
